Building a bar

[Reviled]

Keen for some ideas guys, im going to look at building a bar set up for my new place seeing as ill have the room for it.. Thinking a combination of wood and stainless for the design...

Ive currently got a chest freezer as my kegerator, so was thinking fonts would be the way to go, as well as putting a collar on the chest freezer...

Has anyone put a collar on a freezer before? Is it fairly simple?

Also - It seems Ebay has some pretty cheap fonts with taps included, like this one below - is there anything I should look out for when buying fonts/taps?

Let me tell you a trick, Get a Emersons Hefe Glass as they are Perfect measures for 750ml BC pet Bottles!! They leave about 70mls of Wastage in your bottles and you have one nice 22oz Glass of beer!!

Yea, I looked at that (and wanted it) but to add on a temp control would blow my budget. Plus, it is just a wee bit too big for my available space unfortunately. I have a small chest freezer that I bought from TW several years ago (smaller than that one) and had always assumed I would convert it. However, when I started planning I discovered that somewhere along the line I had vastly miss-measured. It was no where near deep enough to take a corny.

That happened on my first tip into freezerator land... then I thought space for two was enough.... fourth freezer later and I'm happy. Fits two fermenters in there with a couple corneys tucked in places... probably overkill!!

Update us with pix when you get the chance Nolen!
